They are also at higher risk of being affected by the Coronavirus and being additionally socially isolated.

This news site is run as a news blog by an individual who finances it. This is a non commercial non profitable blog.

The purpose is a to make local news available for non commercial use.

It relies on News feeds from Councils, BBC, Police, Local Blogs, Local news.In order to add extra content and services our external links and displays are free.

As the blog is to promote local news free and is non commercial non profit making network it would not be possible to pay Press Association Commercial licence fees for content because it is not set up to make a financial gain.

A recent court case agrees commercial users can be charged for content that is resold for profit. However non commercial blogs etc would not be charged.

However it appears some press associations are getting rather greedy and are chasing private bloggers for fees if they are using some local newspaper feeds.

They appear to be using a debt collection business called Buchanan Clark & Wells of Glasgow who are sending made up charges for use of copyright material.

If you are a private blogger having the same problem I would like to hear from you.

If you are a online newspaper or press association your comments would also be welcome.

We now have to take the advantage and not carry on blaming ourselves or others.It was a shock the way it went BUT GET OVER IT.

The European Union is an organisation that tries to represent Europe.
It is now nervous that a country has dared to take control of themselves.

It will not be easy to deal with them because they want us to fail.
We will not fail and maybe others will split away.That is their biggest fear.

Northern Ireland now needs to be used as a trade Area to negotiate with Europeans direct.Taking advantage of its doorstep location with Southern Ireland. The UK needs to lower corporation rates to be the same as Ireland.This will be an advantage for all business.

We need to create a small coordinating and marketing organisation and use CBI and Group Trading organisations to promote Great Britain.The commonwealth needs to be a bigger part of our trade. Our main objective must be to trade globally.
The social legislation and general laws need to be rewritten and but back into British Law. Maybe a 5 year project.There is going to be lots to sort. In the meantime we can still use Modified European Law and call it that.
